Summary
In Gemma Files’s horror-fantasy debut, former Confederate chaplain Asher Rook has cheated death and now possesses a dark magic. He uses his power to terrorize the Wild West, leading a gang of outlaws, thieves, and killers, with his cruel lieutenant and lover, Chess Pargeter, by his side.
Pinkerton agent Ed Morrow is going undercover to infiltrate the gang, armed with a shotgun and a device that measures sorcerous energy. His job is to gain knowledge of Rook’s power and unlock its secrets. But there is someone else who has Rook in her sights: the Lady of Traps and Snares, a bloodthirsty Mayan goddess who will stop at nothing to satisfy her own desires.
Caught between the good, the bad, and the unholy, Morrow will have to ride out a storm of magical mayhem to survive, in this debut novel, the first book of Files’s “weird Western Hexslinger trilogy…[which] is chock full of hellish horrors” (Mike Allen, author of Unseaming).

A perfect combination of story and narrator
I read this book many years ago when it was first published, and it was as good as I remembered. A mix of Aztec horror, the Wild West complete with Pinkertons, gangs, magic users, and holy (and not so holy) joes along with unexpected flashes of dark humour.
The narrator is excellent , clearly capturing the distinct identities of the main characters. Beautifully paced.
